If there is an uncertainty in the natural world. Science is a perfect candidate to do this job. To discover/study the uncertainty.
In addition, if god does exist in natural world, "Does god exist?" must be a scientific question. -The premise "in natural world", the god can make claims and influence on human activities.
However, an theist would argue that science cannot have such ability to do this job because of the frequency. In other words, in order to be able to examine the god, you need to be there at the right place and right time. For example, the god only appears in earth one per 1000 years or even longer like 300000 years. The question is the timing, not the identity.
Therefore, science can examines the natural world yet it requires the natural phenomena that occur in a high frequency manner. Science cannot study the frequency of events that its frequencies are discrete, random and low.
So, as non-believer, how would you argue that? ^_^
I think if the hypothesis is true, why would we bother to believe that? It is sad to see the limitation of scientific method, but it does not infer that to its incompetency for discovery of the natural world.
Bottom lines, life is short and why bother to believe the god hypothesis? True? opinions?
